NZ vs SA Key battles:
Sophie Devine vs Marizanne Kapp

Devine will have to tackle the bowling of Marizanne Kapp, who will be entrusted with the responsibility of picking up wickets with the new ball.
Maddy Green vs Masabata Klaas
Maddy Green, who got off to a start in the previous match, would look to prolong his innings if she gets her eye in against South Africa.
Green will go head-to-head against Masabata Klaas, who would want to put on a string performance with the ball after not having much to do against England.
Laura Wolvaardt vs Lea Tahuhu
South Africa's captain, Laura Wolvaardt, will have to take the responsibility and get her team to a good start to bounce back from a disappointing performance in the first match.
Wolvaardt will be up against Lea Tahuhu, who was impressive with the ball against Australia and would hope to keep the good work going.
Sune Luus vs Amelia Kerr
Sune Luus would also be banked upon to come good in the upcoming match against New Zealand for South Africa to increase their chances of winning.
Luus will face the challenge of Amelia Kerr, who broke the back of Australia's middle order and would wish to do something similar against South Africa in the team's second match of the competition.
